A Rune forged by The Flame
Artwork by 'Taro, the Curious Mind
Not much is known about the duties of Chaos Agents outside The Court of Chaos Magic. For the most part, they prefer to keep the nature of their quests and inquiries away from the public, for Chaos is a force to be reckoned with and it shouldn't be taken lightly.
What we do know for certain is that Warrior #13937 encounter with the Great burner of Might was crucial for his journey. Even though this wasn't his first Court of Chaos endeavour —nor his first time facing what could've been his demise— this is where he found the true essence of Chaos... and an ally who'd help him build his path to glory.
So reads an excerpt from The Court's Quests Archive regarding this particular encounter:
[...]
"Engulfed by the fire and down to his knee was Warrior #13937; his skin red and burning and the metal of his armor searing hot, yet the knight remained still with his head held high. Vidal kept staring at the void of the wizard’s golden skull for he knew one thing: his might burnt brighter than any flame, no matter how magic or sacred.
After what felt like an eternity to Vidal, the wizard broke the silence.
“I know you’ll prove useful to the Cult” — uttered Wizard #2595, his ghastly voice echoing through a chamber lit by the very flame that devoured many brave warriors before… but this one proved to be worthy of his mercy.
After speaking, a hit of his caduceus against the ground made the fire roar louder than before, but it suddenly felt… colder? Voidoth’s crow cawed, and from the flames now harmless aura the mighty rune of steel manifested next to Vidal, forged by the same force that rose to destroy him."
[...]
Not much more could be read from the registries. This passage is testament of how the nerves and determination of Agent #13937 granted him not only his rune, but the respect of the powerful Wizard #2595 and the quintessential truth by which he swore to live by:
«In order to destroy one must first learn to create, for destruction and creation are both expressions of Chaos — and Chaos should always remain at balance.»
Since then, Vidal began working on Pantheum Vidalis to master his craft and find glory through the act of creation. With the flame of might burning from within, and the support of Patrons of the Pantheon, it will be just a matter of time for the word of the warrior sculptor atop the mountains to spread far and wide across the lands.
